Sprayer:
The velocities given on the Charts for ships are in km/h and the acceleration in m/s².
Please make the velocities into m/s so it's easier to comprehend how fast they are reached.

treseritops:
Don't mean to make this a math lesson but that is just the units for acceleration: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_per_second_squared

It's the correct way to label them.

HamsterIV:
I think he wants the max ship velocities given in m/s so he can extrapolate how long it will take a ship to get up to top speed. FYI there are 0.277778 m/s in every km/h. Generaly m/s are given for very fast moving objects like bullets while km/h is reserved for slower moving objects like cars and airships.

Read op again since you missed the point entirely.

@Hamster that may be true but on cars you dont get an acceleration in m/s². You get told "[...] seconds to reach [100/200/300] km/h"
I'd really like the stats either in scientific (m/s; m/s²) or in mean units and not a mingle-mangle of both.

Keon:
Fun fact: m/s is almost half of mi/hr. So a squid would have a top speed of somewhere around 30-40, I forget. I support this.
